I don't agree with that. To be on safe side you should have 100% or little more. Thanks

me neither,
i also dont agree with the 80 to 90% amount.
When we have travel along towards our destination then we must be fully prepared.
becuase we are not in a position to take a trail or test the cic.

Dear,
immigration is all about patience game. no one on earth can tell about the exact time for further development of the case. so wait with positive mind is suggested.
anywaz, i think u would get into "in process" during next month, since LVO is active on pre june applicants nowadays. People like u and me, post june applicants, will get their turn after the pre june backlog being done with.

UK office ask me to submit the RPRF fee , we are two applicant can we sepratly made DD of 490$ or just make one of $ 960.

[Usman799]

I don't agree with that. To be on safe side you should have 100% or little more. Thanks

I agree with cocknbull. I have seen a case in which VO refused the case just because required funds were just short of 100 dollars. so, required funds must be over and above the required level. its my observation.

Just make one for $980 (not $960). When sending, make sure you attach a copy of the letter the UK office sent you asking for the draft.

Hi All
Hope below information will help all forum member in understanding work patern of Visa Office London during the yaer 2012-13. This is an email  sent by VO London to a consultant.

According to Mr. Cochrance, steps are being taken to enhance the efficiency and to reduce the processing times. This was crucial and important for this particular office in view of transfer of 14,000+ files from Pakistan that exerted an extra burden on a already heavily backlogged office. There are currently 95 support staff of which 14 are Canadian and 10 locally engaged designated immigration officers authorized to make decisions of files. It appears that resources continue to be a major challenge for the office in London as they grapple with the huge inventory of files. However, the Program Manager was optimistic that they will be able to manage the inventory bring the processing times down by hiring more staff on contract basis. Also, due to the stringent criteria in place now, the intake of new cases has already gone down considerably resulting in more resources allocated to the backlog. Currently, London is receiving only 150 cases per month in the new criteria (Ministerial Instructions # 3) in comparison with 3000 cases month in Ministerial Instructions # 2. He indicated that the files of Pakistani applicants have been integrated into the system.

Finalization of Cases:

According to the Immigrant Processing Unit Supervisor Mr. Robert Stevenson, all Ministerial Instruction cases will be finalized (filed between February 28, 2008 and June 26, 2010). The visa officers are being pushed real hard to accomplish this task and this is becoming more realistic due to the reduced intake under the new criteria. He was also hopeful that cases file after June 26, 2010 will also see the light of the day during the course of 2012. Approximately half of the cases will receive a decision in first half of 2012 and the rest in later part of 2012 and early 2013. If an interview is required it would be conducted in Abu Dhabi though these quality assurance interviews are very few but important to attend. The Skilled Worker cases filed before February 28, 2008 still will not be reviewed until at least 2013.

The Federal Investor cases will be reviewed in 2013 which is still quicker than the Quebec Investor class.
All in all it appears that the steps taken by the Canadian government to reduce the backlog are finally yielding some results and we can anticipate finalization of most of the pending cases under skilled worker class during the course of 2012/early 2013.

We look forward to keep you informed about the processing trends and changes in immigration policies as and when announced by the Canadian government.
Sincerely,

[usmantanvirbutt]

"If an interview is required it would be conducted in Abu Dhabi "

why abu dhabi when they have an embassy here in islamabad, seems very strange.
